* A warranty
* Proven calibration software
All things that the RP Labs L8 has as well. Perhaps you should have done that research?

mike does know all costs involved, including the support necessary for such a product, and he has set a price accordingly. we'll see how well it sells at that price. all i can say is that when you look at the price of other RP Labs products that Stu is selling for example (the datalogging and monitoring sid eof the software), it is very reasonably priced.

Dizzyless is an extra £70 + VAT option and needs to be specified at time of ordering.
Why? An L8 ecu is not equipped to to have 2 outputs for ignition from the factory, so it needs modification. That has to be paid for, just like the additional boards that Stu sells.

i was involved in the development until i handed it over to Mike and Harvey. i now want to see it suceed, as i believe that it is an excellent product that can do a lot for the ford tuning scene
